hopping a freight
and posing with
old cars

Tom C.- Mexico freight hoppingthat photo is a bit of an optical illusion... it is a cat walk on the top of a tank car... we mostly were in an open top empty gondola car

Jonathan with a Mercury in Ciudad Mante with one of the colorful cars I kept seeing and the boy in the photos was often out on the street and we became friends so he joined in the photo

Jonathan with a Mercury on the street in Ciudad Mante, Mexico-1978..

Jonathan in Ciudad Mante with a DeSoto 1978

Jonathan Fischer, in Ciudad Mante, Mexico 1978 with Chevy ... Mexico like Cuba at this time was a car heaven for 1950 era vehicles!

much of my life spent

wanting others to like

what I like-

in my jacket pocket the stone

is worked with worries

beneath the wheel
flecks of new rust
on the rail…
